3.0 out of 5 stars A blatant repackaging rather than a genuine upgrade, 2 Jan 2005
By Yi-Peng (Singapore) - See all my reviews
  
This reissue of the Sound of Music soundtrack coincides with the 40th anniversary of the release of the film. Of course, the performances and music have been praised sundry times, so there's no need to cover them here. However, this release is nothing more than a crude and blatant repackaging of the RCA recording, rather than a genuine and benevolent upgrade on such a popular album. This is because most of the songs are presented in their original LP versions rather than the versions that are used in the film. In addition, although there is some previously unreleased music among the bonus tracks at the end, they haven't really been integrated into the main soundtrack in the way that EMI did for the Oklahoma, Carousel and King and I soundtracks. Now, if only this soundtrack was done with some integrity, with in-depth liner nites including a soundtrack annotation, and the inclusion of all the music recorded for the film, including the underscore, I'm sure that this soundtrack would have received a more deserving upgrade than this skimpy reissue we have here.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new!, 14 Jan 2005
By A Customer
Unfortunately, this album is disappointing. I hoped and looked forward to the "extras" only to be completely let down.
Track 19, the "extended" version of "16 going on seventeen" is shorter than the original, and is not sung by Liesl and Maria as stated on the cover, it's just the same as track 6, but track 6 is longer!

Very disappointing, shame on you Sony/BMG!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly one of my "favourite things"., 2 April 2006
By C. Wood (W. Yorks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have Condidence that nobody can call themselves a true affectionado of Sound of Music without this CD.
It contains the original 16 pieces from the film, beautifully sung by Maria, the Captain, the Children and the Chorus, plus eleven bonus tracks that make this CD even more of "something good", wiht exetended music, additional verses and esxtra soundtrack used on the film.
Rodger and Hammerstein outdo any other musical ever written herein, and this CD is worth every penny.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another missed opportunity
No - I haven't bought the 40th Anniversary edition of The Sound of Music...but I did buy the 35th Anniversary whose track listing seems to be very similar. Read more
